I will read aloud //Stellaluna// by Janell Cannon. I will write one sentence comparing bats and birds using a “compare” key word. I will write one sentence contrasting bats and birds using a “contrast” key word. (Direct Teaching and Guided Practice Example Chart is provided in Teacher and Student Materials below.) Ask: How did I write my compare and contrast sentences? Students should respond that you read the story and identified things that were similar and different between bats and birds. Then, you used compare key words to write a sentence about their similarities and you used contrast key words to write a sentence about their differences. will continue comparing the contrasting bats and birds. We will use “compare” and “contrast” key words to write a sentence comparing and contrasting birds and bats. (Direct Teaching and Guided Practice Example Chart is provided below.)
